Material Detail
Clove Bud Oil CO₂ extract is derived from the dried flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum through supercritical CO₂ extraction. This method preserves a broader range of aromatic and therapeutic compounds compared to steam distillation, resulting in a richer, more complex profile with enhanced potency. The oil possesses a warm, spicy, and woody aroma characteristic of high-quality clove oil.
Indonesia, being one of the world’s largest producers of cloves, is a key source of premium Clove Bud Oil CO₂, particularly from regions like Sulawesi and Java, where the rich volcanic soil enhances the clove’s eugenol content.
